AWS Cloud Development Kit - From Beginner to Professional - DTAP in CDK: Multi-Environment Deployment

The video tutorial explains how to use AWS CDK to create and manage infrastructure stacks across multiple environments, such as development, testing, and production. It covers setting up environment profiles, customizing code for different environments, and using environment variables for deployment. The tutorial demonstrates how to dynamically adjust stack attributes like encryption and versioning based on the environment, and how to synthesize and deploy these stacks using AWS CDK.

What is a key reason for using CDK in multiple environments?

• To reduce the number of AWS accounts

• To ensure consistent resource configurations across environments

• To eliminate the need for version control

• To simplify the user interface

In the given scenario, what is the main task of the developer?

• To create a new AWS account

• To deploy an S3 bucket stack in different environments

• To manage user access permissions

• To write a new programming language

What is the purpose of creating different profiles in the CDK project setup?

• To manage different user roles

• To simplify the code structure

• To handle different AWS regions

• To configure different environments

How does the CDK code determine which attributes to set for a stack?

• By evaluating the environment variable

• By using hardcoded values

• By user input during deployment

• By checking the current date

What happens to the artifact bucket in the dev environment when the stack is deleted?

• It is archived

• It is moved to production

• It is deleted

• It is retained

What is a key benefit of using CDK for multi-environment deployments?

• It simplifies the AWS billing process

• It increases the cost of deployment

• It allows dynamic configuration of resources

• It reduces the need for AWS support

Which feature is enabled in the production environment but not in the dev environment?

• Multi-factor authentication

• Public access

• Versioning and encryption

• Automatic scaling

What is the default deletion policy for the dev environment stack?

• Archive

• Transfer

• Delete

• Retain

Why might a developer choose to deploy in a VPC without an Internet gateway in production?

• To simplify deployment

• To increase security

• To improve performance

• To reduce costs

What is the main advantage of using a single codebase for multiple environments in CDK?

• It reduces the need for testing

• It simplifies the deployment process

• It allows for consistent resource management

• It eliminates the need for documentation
